Maybe it's superhero namechecks, like Donavon's Green Lantern mention, or maybe it's What's On Your Walkman, WhateverMan/Boy/Lad/Woman/Girl/Avenger?

We did this back in October. Thread here.

Okay, ditch the namechecks, just a What's On Your Walkman...

Let's start with AQuaMan:

"wave of mutilation" pixies

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 10 February 2003 21:01 (twenty-three years ago)

"My Baby Does the Hanky Panky" Tommy James & Shondelles, just cuz I think Aquaman's sort of square like that.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 10 February 2003 21:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, I picture him listening to The Wallflowers.

Ringo = The Thing

okay, yes, but this is not about superhero songs, you lazy bastards. This is what do you think superheroes listen to!

you know, there *is* an issue where the Thing and the Human Torch meet the Beatles.

I bet Superman only listens to "The Superman Theme" 24-7, that smug self-absorbed prick!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 18:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Batman probably listens to Nu-Metal, cuz he's SO into cheezy expressions of male adolescent impotent rage.

Ooooh. Okay.

Captain America: His cd changer contains mix CDs of Lee Greenwood (in reactionary right-wing nut mode), Joan Baez (in milksop-protester lefty mode) and the Squirrel Nut Zippers. He has some Public Enemy but doesn't completely "get it."
Spiderman: He always struck me as a guy with lots of Tony Bennett CDs stuffed between Pearl Jam and Limp Bisquick.
Thor: Uber-Metalhead.
Wolverine and The Punisher: Enya and Showtunes.

GA: Tom Petty, one or two Tom Waits albs, he owns a Rage Against the Machine t-shirt, but finds their music a little too much
GL: Motown

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 20:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Very perceptive.

Wonder Woman: Hides her Shania Twain record underneath a pile of Ani DiFranco. Has a few cds of Greek pop which she rarely ever listens to.

I always imagine him listening strictly to whatever was on the radio, him being such an easygoing demigod.
Now, the really interesting thing would be to know what Batman listens to. I imagine that he listens to classical in his study. Funk in his Batcave and Oi! when he's on patrol.
Agree/Disagree?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 21:14 (twenty-three years ago)

the (old school) new mutants:

wolfsbane - arab strap
cypher - weezer
mirage - journey
cannonball - toby keith
warlock - dj/rupture
psylocke - sugababes
karma - anything on wyndham hill
sunspot - disturbed
magma - janet jackson

― tony bleach (blackshoeswhitesocks), Tuesday, 11 February 2003 21:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Naw. Mirage would be listening to Classic Rock and Magma would be listening to Enigma. Sunspot would be into Sepultura.

Devo, maybe?

Hey horaceman, just used your pic as a background, very nice. Thanks.
Carry on.

― kevin brady (groeuvre), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 19:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Silver Surfer - only classical

Wolverine - Willie Nelson

Mr Fantastic- B-52's

Doctor Doom - only easy listening (why do you think he's so pissed?)

I'm not sure why, but I can imagine him rockin' The Roots' "Adrenaline!" like nothing else.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 20:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, Horace, if that pic tells the truth then Ambush Bug suddenly strikes me as more of a Jimmy Buffett fan than a Devo fan.
Also Lobo (the "albino Czarnian") is very much into Celine Dion. (It makes his "fishies" happy)

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 13 February 2003 14:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and Wolverine always struck me as more of a Neil Young (WITH Crazy Horse) kinda guy than a Willie Nelson kinda guy. Besides, He'd pick Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard looong before Willie Nelson.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 13 February 2003 14:16 (twenty-three years ago)

if ambush bug :: devo (or jimmy buffett),

then cheeks :: ???

― tony bleach (blackshoeswhitesocks), Thursday, 13 February 2003 14:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't remember. Suspect something involving lots of synthetic saxaphone noises and funkygrunts.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 13 February 2003 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Pere Ubu?
btw, if you do a google image search for cheeks, ambush, you will be delighted.

dr strange listens to the top 40 on sundays
